WEEK TWO

WEEK TWO

23 Villagers

Three people have fallen and a tower has risen. Along with it, some of the restraints on your mind have dispersed and a memory has returned to you - is it precious, is it painful? Is it cherished, is it loathed?

Mercilessly, dawn breaks on another morning. The rooster still calls, and the crops still need tending to. Rise and shine, Puffin Town! It seems like the residents are not the only thing that has chosen to rise, as a few more establishments have opened up for exploration. The sound of moo-ing near the farms may feel especially inviting here - how about making some new additions to your farms, to drown out your loneliness?

There is no festival just yet but if you question the ducks on it, some excited quacking will herald fun things to come later in the week. Some of the ducks will also wave the gift notes from last week; regardless of murder, being kind to your neighbors is still encouraged! Can't let our beautiful town sink into gloom and doom, right?

(( OOC: Murder proposals are due by Tuesday at 4 PM EST / 1 PM PST, for the current week's murder, but feel free to submit for later weeks if you like!

We have also added a page to report your Astera planting - this does not need to have been threaded, we're just taking stock on an OOC level.

Further, the Gift Mechanic has been updated. All turned in threads will now yield a character specific item as a reward! We're only dipping into the random gacha once all personalized rewards have been given out.))

Has anyone taken you up on the offer?

[If not, extremely embarassing for him. If yes, extremely embarassing for them.]

[hyperbloom]

Wizard's Tower

[illprotecteveryone]

[Colette enters the wizard's tower. Beelzebub is probably one of the people she hadn't expected to see over here. His choice of books is quite interesting...]

I didn't think you'd be interested in tales, Beelzebub. Why's that?

Beach

[illprotecteveryone]

[Spending time with someone else? Oh, it's a given Colette will take the invitation]

Sure!

[Colette crouches near Enkidu, and then realizes she doesn't know for sure what's going on]

What should I do? Stare at the sand?

[Enjoying the beach atmosphere probably is what Enkidu is actually thinking of, maybe?]

Alchemy Lab

[illprotecteveryone]

Alchemy is all about making gold and crystals. That's what I heard from the scholars.

[Colette watches from a distance because she has a feeling she shouldn't be near fragile components.

What's the state of alchemy in a fantasy world? Probably more useful than you'd think...but I can't recall a moment in Symphonia where it existed, so I guess other magic-based disciplines are more important than alchemy, oh well]

GET YOUR FREE GIFT HERE EXCEPT FOR WALTER WHITE

[illprotecteveryone]

[Nice poster, Colette. No, it's not that Walter White has been excluded. She just has something else planned for him.

But it's so serendipitous! Colette had planned to do something, based on what she got told through the text messages from last week, and now with this booth thing for the festival she's going to kill two birds with one stone.

Whenever someone approaches, Colette waves at them]

Hey, I have something for you! Come here, I think you'll like it!

[liberazoth]

[ there's a couple variants! there's a few solid charms, but also a couple of wire-wrapped ones as well. they fit easily into the the middle of one's palm. ]

Not that long. It's relatively easy when all the materials are already provided for you, so since they already had copper over at at the smithy I got most of this done over the last few hours.

[ now, if he'd had to go spelunking for his own ores and materials, that's a different story... ]

[illprotecteveryone]

I want to try!

[Hiiii!]

[mirrari]

Of course, dear.

[She will Assume The Position.]

Go easy on me?

[illprotecteveryone]

I don't think I'll have to...

[Let's give a try! Colette takes the position as well, getting her elbow well set onto the surface]

On three?

[She's prepared!]

[illprotecteveryone]

[Colette just comes to hang out with Zelos]

Is it working?

[Are you getting them smooches, Zelos?]

[mirrari]

[what even is a cow]

Roy
Sinsa
Jomu
Fleur
Brock

[Azure has zero remorse for insulting The Homies because it's not like anybody else knows who they are!!]

[truthdefiler]

[Erika Furudo, terror of ducks everywhere, shows up to this booth.]

What do we get if we give you a secret?

[mirrari]

[How is Azure supposed to put in minimal effort if people are going to earnestly try... Alas.]

On three. One, two... Three.

[Considering the dice roll was a big fat 1 I don't think Azure is going to even get close to winning this. It was nice knowing Colette.]

Livestock

[illprotecteveryone]

...just to be sure, how are you planning to use this donkey's help to plant?

[First things first: be sure that Wei Wuxian has the right ideas in mind]

[liberazoth]

[ hmm, are they doing celestial names...? vayne's offerings, after some consideration, are:

Lune, Aster ]

[collisionheart]

[ This is fine. ]

[collisionheart]

[ There’s looking to both sides to make sure Colette was talking to her. She still points to herself like ????? ]

[theotherww]

Science, Amy.

This branch of it is essentially breaking down organic foods to their natural proteins and repurposing them--the chloroplasts in your greens become a growth serum, for instance. The color coding is a convenient shorthand is all.

[He points to the notes he's taken on these colors as if this has suddenly become a teacher's seminar.]

However, what do you think happens when you consider secondary colors?

[illprotecteveryone]

[I got a 2.

Turns out Colette did decide to go easy on Azure. After all, Colette did find out she has a lot more strength than she thought -- not abnormally so because powers nerfed, but she really has more strength than a girl like her should have. But how to go easy on this...?

Well, her decision was mostly to attempt not to press right away, and she did this in a manner where it was obvious she's trying not to win too easy. Her arm angles outwards, in the direction of Colette losing, until she judged she had allowed Azure to do well enough. Not to try to tilt back, liiiittle by liiiittle, so it's not too noticeable she has strength for some reason.

.........

...her arm is...not in a good position. Oh, her joint, is kind of locked right now. Colette's strength and Azure's 1 means her arm isn't defeated, but her positioning means she can't push back. They're, effectively in a stalemate]

Oh...

[hyperbloom]

[ Since she's already done so with Azure, kind of – ]

Is Zelos around for this?

1/2

[collisionheart]

2/2

[collisionheart]

[ This doesn’t explain the knife. She slowly withdraws her hands.

She walks away. Nobody saw any of this. ]

[theotherww]

It is my line of work.

But a few things. [He gestures towards a sealed pale jar.] That one's pesticide.

[duckinghell]

[ This duck shakes its head in disappointment, and puts back the sold out sign under the booth. ]
